Brielle made her debut into the world June 1, 2010 at 8:52pm at 24 weeks 2 days. She was a tiny 1 lbs 6.6oz and 12". She is truly our miracle baby!! We will never forget her twin brother Ayden. He fought so hard to keep her safe. She is truly fighting thru him.

Day 76 down!

Another great day in the land of Brielle! Lets see....where should I start??? Her vapotherm breathing machine was turned down to 3liters!!!!! I heard that 2 was the lowest setting and then they wean her to the nasal cannula!! She can go home on oxygen but not on vapotherm!!! VERY happy to see the 3 on the monitor when I got there at 3pm! She was WIDE awake too and carline said she was awake most of the day!! She is starting to cry and whimper and wine alittle bit more. I think she is taking after her two noisey neighbor boys! NOT a good thing little miss!

Brielle is 4 1/2 pounds!! Feels like yesterday I was just reporting she was 3lbs and now shes almost 5! So hard to believe! I am starting to bring newborn clothes to the hospital since her preemie are getting snug already!

Last but not least! She took 29ML for dad tonight again, out of 37ML! SO the speech therapist, Sally, was there watching her feed and she agreeded that if Brielle was showing signs she wanted to take the bottle, she could have it!! Before it was once every 12 hours, now its when she wants too!! Shes doing so well noone can believe she took to the feedings on her own so quick and so well! We cant either! She is truly amazing and always seems to amaze us each and every day!

About Me

I am 25 and my husband is 28. We tried for a year to get pregnant after having a miscarriage at 6 weeks in Nov 08. We conceived our miracle twins in December. We had the perfect pregnancy until my water broke at 20 wks 5 days. I was hospitalized that night for 3 weeks and 3 days until my precious baby boy passed away on May 31. We let nature take its course and delivered his sister June 1st. She was 1 lbs 6.6 oz and 12" long. She was doing wonderful when she was born!!! She continues to strive. We believe her brother is looking down and kicking her butt to do very well!!! We love Ayden for staying in and protecting his sister as long as he did. We will never forget you little man!
